Arizona Devastated by Playoff Elimination
Members of the <Arizona Vipers:team#6> sat in stunned silence in their clubhouse, adjusting to the knowledge that they had lost their chance for a playoff berth this year.

"We really thought we had the team to get into the playoffs," said starting pitcher <Edgardo Pacheco:player#11393>.

The Vipers have missed the playoffs 31 times in their 46 years as a American Federation Baseball League franchise. This playoff miss is the club's 2nd in a row, with their last postseason appearance coming in 2056. In the last 10 seasons, the Vipers have made the playoffs 3 times. Arizona last won the Federation Cup Series in 2035.
